Hutchison 3G UK today unveiled details of its forthcoming products and services to be marketed under the 3 brand, including details of special discounts and an outline of pricing options which will be made available to the first 20,000 'Founders' customers to sign up to these offers with 3.

As the UK's first commercial 3G service, 3 will deliver live video calls, digital mapping and advanced satellite location-based services, exclusive video clips of Premiership football highlights, music, games, news and finance.

Prospective customers will be able to pre-register on the website and get a sneak preview of what is on offer. Those who pre-register online will also be invited to view an early preview demonstration of 3's products and services in one of the company's flagship '3Stores' in London and Birmingham.

New details revealed on the website include:

- 3's customised and intuitive icon-driven User Interface
- A sample of video calling in action
- A sample 'video postcard'
- Samples of sports news, including a video clip from a Premiership game
- Examples of digital mapping and advanced satellite-based location services, including 'my nearest' and directory searches
- An example of a high-resolution game
- Details of handsets (two from NEC, one from Motorola), including interactive 3D images
- Comprehensive details of handset accessories

Strategy and marketing director at 3, Lisa Gernon, said: "In 2002 more than 15,000 UK consumers participated in customer research designed to fine-tune every aspect of 3's products and services. What we're revealing today is the outcome of that extensive analysis. We're very excited about the new medium we're building, and we're looking forward to delivering on our vision in the near future."

The company also announced there will be a special promotional discount for the first 20,000 'Founders' customers to sign up to 3's initial pricing options.

'Founders' who take up these offers will be offered a choice of special pricing options which will include a discount on the recommended retail price of a handset and a substantial 'bundle' of voice call minutes, video call minutes, text, picture and video messages, email and multimedia content and services. These promotional pricing options will be aimed at heavy users of 3 services and will range from £59.99 per month for 12 months to £99.99 per month for 12 months.
